In his maiden speech, referring to the dismal economy, Imran said economic difficulties were not as bad in the history of the country as compared to today. “The debt burden increased from Rs 6,000 billion to 28, 000 billion rupees during the last ten years,” he said.

He said in the past the country had to secure 2 billion dollar loan annually to pay back its debt, but “today, we have to take two billion dollars every month to pay back just interest on loans obtained in the past”.
